What in me is dark
Illumin, what is low raise and support;
That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert Eternal Providence,
And justifie the wayes of God to men.
John Milton

American Literature: Black Veils and Scarlet Letters

Hello, American Lit students! I hope that the mock trial went swimmingly and that James Fenimore Cooper received mercy/justice at your capable hands.

For this week, we have another selection from Nathaniel Hawthorne's Twice-Told Tales to accompany our reading of The Scarlet Letter. Enjoy this very interesting short story!

"The Minister's Black Veil" by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Please remember to print out the story and bring it to class with you next Tuesday. If you still have it around, it might be helpful to bring "The Birth-Mark," as well.

Have a great week!

    I heard that the defense was so good that the jury's decision was unanimous. That defense must be highly talented.

    Being a member of the jury, I can say that is so.
